IFRIC 2 provides guidance in applying the requirements of IAS 32 in terms of classifying financial instruments as liabilities or equity to co-operatives and similar entities.

Shares for which the member has the right to request redemption are normally liabilities, unless:

• the entity has an unconditional right to refuse redemption;
• local law, regulation or the entity’s governing charter can unconditionally prohibit redemption.
